Dear friends
Today I am going to share some great but disturbing comments written by a man I sincerely respect---FRANKLIN GRAHAM. Article composed by Bob Unruh and published May 7 2022. With my own read included.
Scripture tells us that the time will come (end times) when 'they' (some Christians) will not be able to stand sound Biblical doctrine. I believe that time is now!
As you know Mr. Graham is the head of Samaritans Purse ministry. Mr. Unruh writes for various publications. And then there is me. Who writes for the Lord only.
Progressive Christianity is not faith based, nor Biblically based in that it is extremely liberal in nature. Not relying on the Bible as ALWAYS being the inspired Word of God. In a cover article for Grahams ministry, it states that PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANITY IS SOMETHING THAT CAN SEND A PERSON TO HELL! I could not agree more.
Continuing--The holy structure, Adopted by many leftist churches around the globe, neglects the fundamental issue of God's justice---How a holy and just God deals with sinful and wicked man.
Further these congregations are progressive regarding personal sin, and fail to see the ruinous consequences of mankind's depraved and sinful state. Biblical teaching on the precious blood of Christ, The sacrificial, substitutionary, atoning work of Christ death on the cross, Is often neglected or distorted
What is the result?
The real ultimate danger is that progressive Christianity can send a person to hell. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians about their attempt to return to the demands of the law rather than continuing to live by grace through faith. Such an attempt was not just a really bad idea, it actually will result in living under God's curse, not his grace and favour.
The exact same warning applies today to the advocates of progressive Christianity. They deceitfully promote and proclaim clearly a different gospel, Which means no gospel at all.....And they are leading multitudes astray!
The problem is that progressive Christianity denies the Divinely inspired, authoritative truth of the Bible as it interacts with every facet of life. For example, following scripture clearly says that marriage is between one man one woman. Proponents of progressive Christianity twist and distort the truth of Gods Word on the subject of sexuality, focusing on such nonsensical trends as gender identity.
They deny Godly distinctions between the sexes, and instead invent their own misguided standards not being guided by the word of God. The degrading cultural influences that embrace such movements as gay marriage have more sway over their congregations than the Bible does.
To reject the deity of Christ is to reject Christ Himself. That in itself condemns a person to an eternity spent in hell. Or the hope that good works are enough, when in fact they cannot earn salvation.
The bottom line here, is that Christ's death, burial and resurrection is the only saving gospel. The Bible tells us, let not many of you become teachers, because you will be held to a higher level of accountability. Teachers and preachers of the word of God must be faithful to proclaim it from the pulpit and to do so Exactly as God intended and wrote by His holy prophets, throughout his entire Bible. Praise and worship certainly have their place in church, but there is no substitute for pastors preaching the power of the cross and of the resurrection because without the resurrection from the grave, Christianity would be nothing more that another empty-religion.
But it is not an empty religion because Christ has gone before us, defeating death and giving us eternal salvation through his atoning death on the cross.
There is only one way to salvation and that is through sincere repentance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord, and acknowledging that he was risen from the grave. There is one other point, In scripture Jesus says, Why do you call me Lord Lord if you do not do as I command.
That includes traditional family values; The husband a man of the word and raising his wife and children in the ways of God, respecting his wife as an equal and teaching his children that there is only one sexual relationship approve my God, that being between one man and one woman living a sanctified life before the Lord.
I cannot stress enough the dangers of homosexual relationships and I might add that even though we may know and love persons practicing homosexuality, we can never allow them to believe that we agree with it.
Finally--MEN ARE MEN and WOMEN ARE WOMEN. I don't care how many drugs or body parts are cut off--If you were born male you are male. If born female you are female.
God bless you all,
Pastor Rance.
